SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 671,509. dated April 9,1901- Applioation iiled .Tune 2,1900. Serial No. 18,805. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it neu/,y con/cern: v

Be it known that I, CHARLES CRANE, a citizen of the United States,residing in Rahway,

Union county, NewJelsey, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Receptacles for Paste and Analogous Substances, of whichthe following is a specification.

rfhe object of my invention is to provide a receptacle from which thecontents can be ejected in the desired quantity in a convenient andexpeditious manner; and to this end my invention oomprisesa case orretainer provided with a nozzle or outlet, a head or plunger movablelongitudinally within the case adapted to force the contents throughsaid nozzle, and means for operating said head or plunger by therelative rotation of the parts to eject the contents as desired.

The invention also consists in the novel details of improvement and thecombinations of parts that will be more fully hereinafter set forth andthen pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming parthereof, wherein- Figure lis a central longitudinal section of areceptacle embodyin'gmy invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view of amodified form of re. ceptacle more particularly adapted for greatercontents. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 in Fig. 2, lookingdownwardly. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line 4. 4 in Fig. 2,looking upwardly.

In the accompanying drawings similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in the several views.

The letter A indicates a case or lretainer provided with a stopper B atone end, the cpposite end being suitably closed. The stopper B may be inthe form of a cork fitted tightly within the bore of case Aor in a neckA2, attached thereto or formed integral therewith.

O is a nozzle or outlet, shown in the form of a flanged tubular body,having a bore communicating with the interior of case A, the flange orhead C2 being in position to be grasped by the operator, and forconvenience its rim may be milled. In Fig. 1 the head or flange is shownprojecting beyond the case A, and in Fig. 2 beyond the neck A2, so thatit may be grasped, whereby the case may be rofated independently of thenozzle. The nozzle O is located in a bore in stopper-B, where by theymay be rotated independently. If preferred, however, stopper B andoutlet O can be held rmly together, as by friction, so that case A andstopper B can rotate independently. The outlet or nozzle" C may have adetachable cap O3.

Within case A is a head or plunger D, adapted to slide longitudinallytherein,where by a space is formed' within the case between said headand the stopper for the contents. When the head or plunger D is movedtoward the stopper,the contents can be forced through the nozzle. It isdesigned to cause the head or plunger D to move toward the outlet by therelative rotation of case A and nozzle O, and for this purpose I haveshown a screw or threaded rod E within the case adapted to coact withthe head or plunger.

In Fig. 1 the screw E is shown as made of wire substantially n the formof a corkscrew,

adapted to work in a hole in the head or plunger D, and in such case thelatter may be made of cork or any suitable material. The screw is to beattached to the outlet or nozzle O, and for convenience I have shown thebore in the latter as provided with a groove c, adapted to receive thescrew E for this purpose. The screw extends near to the bottom of caseA. The head or plunger D is fitted within the case A so as to rotatetherewith, as by frictional engagement, and yet has a sliding fit withinthe case.

In Fig. 2 the screw E is shown in the form of a threaded rod secured atthe inner end of nozzle O, as by meshing in a threaded bore therein, andthe nozzle is shown provided with a plurality of apertures c2, leadingto its bore. The head or plunger D is provided with a bore to receivescrew-rod E, and F is a nut secured to the head, so as not to rotateindependently thereof, but working on the threaded rod D.

In charging the receptacle the stopper is removed, the head or plunger Dis placed within the same near or at the lower end, the contents arefilled in upon the head or plunger, and the stopper, nozzle, and screware inserted, so that the screw will engage with the head or plunger.Where a removable IOO bottom or cover ot is usedy the case A may firstbe filled or charged, bead or plunger D inserted and adjusted to thefeeding screw or rod D, and said bottom or cover placed in position.

In either construction shown the arrangement is such that by holding thenozzle C and simultaneously rotating case A, or vice versa, the head orplunger D will be caused to travel within the case toward thestoppelgwhereby more or less of the contents will be pushed through theoutlet. The device is particularly adapted to contain paste or semifluidor a powder, and Jthe same can be retained within the receptaclecomparatively air-tight and can be expeditiously withdrawn by a simplerotary movement of the parts. The case can be made of any suitablematerial-such asmetal, glass, celluloid, and the like-and may have sucha base that The device can stand upright thereon. A further advantage isthat the receptacle can be refilled and used many tiniest` I donot limitmy invention to the precise details of improvement shown and described,as they may be varied without departingfroni the spirit thereof, and bythe term screw I mean either construction of part E shown inV Figs. land 2 or the equivalent thereof.

Having now described my invention, what I claim isl. A receptacle of thecharacter described, comprising a case, ahead or plunger adapted totravel therein, a screw within the case adapted to cause the head orplunger to travel along the same to push out the contents upon therelative rotation of the parts, means for.y

rotatively supporting thel screw, anda nozzle rotatively supported atthe outlet of the case, substantially as described.

2. A receptacleof the character described,

- comprising a case, a head or plunger adapted to travel therein, anozzle journaled at one -end of the case, and a screw connected with thenozzle and adapted to cause the head or `plunger to move toward theoutlet, substantially as described.

3. A receptacle of the character described,

comprising a case, a head or plunger adapted to travel therein, astopper at the end of the case, a nozzle connected with the stopper soas to rotate independently of the case, and a -ing a head or angeprojecting beyond the y adjacent part of the case, wherebythe latter canrotate independently of the nozzle, a screw connected with the nozzle, ahead or plunger having-a sliding iit Within the case and connected withthe case so as to rotate therewith and connected with the screw totravel Within the case by the relative rotation of the parts,substantially as described.
